Use mod_rewrite to rewrite get arguments with slashes

I have a website which has a few standalone webpages (like signup.php) and a main PHP file that displays the rest of the pages using a GET parameter.

I wish to rewrite HTTP requests to the server so that a request like:

http://example.com/website/settings/ would display the page

http://example.com/website/index.php?page=settings, without affecting all the other pages.

I'm quite new to mod_rewrite and all of my attempts have resulted in either a 404 or 500 response code. What is the correct way to write the RewriteCond and RewriteRule?

Add these rules in the htaccess file in the document root (where the website folder is in):

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /+website/(?:index\.php|)\?page=([^&]+)/(&|\ |$)
RewriteRule ^ /website/%1/ [L,R]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^website/(.+)/$ /website/index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]

Or you could instead put these rules in the website folder if that makes more sense:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /website/

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /+website/(?:index\.php|)\?page=([^&]+)/(&|\ |$)
RewriteRule ^ %1/ [L,R]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]
